Horses on the beach … and the mess that they leave.
Enjoying a morning coffee at the beach enjoying the warm morning. Delighted to see a couple of horses (and riders!!) on the beach enjoying a stroll. However, one of the horses needed to defecate and did so.
The rider paused at the horse did its business and then rode on.
There have been loads of posts in the past about dogs fouling on the beach and owners being compelled to clean it up, but what about horse riders? This is a big mess and above the high tide line so it isn’t going to wash away. We are about to enter a bank holiday weekend with hot weather forecast so the beaches are going to be busy. I was planning to bring the kids down … but I think I’ll pick another part of the beach to sit on.
What do people think? Should riders dismount and clean up? Am I in the minority thinking that this is wrong?
